Hi I'm looking to change my exhaust system ASAP, i'm not much of a car tech but the piece directly after the muffler (i THINK the tech said a resonator?) has broken where it attaches to the muffler.. and apparently it's about to break midway on the same piece dangerously soon.. =[ I would like to replace the who bottom exhaust system and I found a set from andysautosport.com made by Spyder for 152 but it's shipped from california and ends up being about 240 with S&H.

I live near Yonge and Steeles and am willing to drive as far as this car will let me for a good price and nice set(preferably somewhat aftermarket i guess, but i just want a proper system)

Any suggestions would be great! THANKS!!

I personally would pick up a Type R midpipe and axle back from TorontoJDM or jdmengineland. Will run you 200ish with cat and it will be in mint condition with OEM quality. You might have to modify the collector on the midpipe but that's about it.

jpark

that's a bit of a stretch but will definately have in mind for future =D
or possibly end up going there... lol

jpark

Anyone with an exhaust system and is able to hook it up for me would be good too =]

Are you looking for aftermarket/performance exhaust or just oem replacement system?

jpark

I would ultimately prefer an aftermarket/erformance exhaust but I have really shy on the money right now. Im looking to spend 250 TOPS for local sources because I can get a set from Spyder from Cali for 240 after S&H+taxes.

I wouldn't mind installing locations too or if anyone here cn personally do it/own garage

Price out an apexi WS2 cat-back system. Not sure how much they are, but good quality and great sound. Everyone who has it seems to love it.

jpark

thanks for the pointer

jpark

haha just checked it out, and dayamn. 500+ o.o;;;

would be nice i'm sure, lol

MPR

^lol, sorry I didn't know how much they are. I just know they are good.

I built/fabricated my own full exhaust system, but all in still cost around $300. (resonator, muffler, piping and flanges...it adds up)

There are lots of custom exhaust shops around the GTA, many with really decent prices. I suggest you call around and see who can do what for you.

jpark

well, what exactly is the process of getting a custom exhaust system? do i need to draw it for them or something? o.o;;

MPR

No, usually they supply generic resonators/mufflers/piping and literally piece together a system that fits your car. If you want you can supply the muffler of your choice and they will integrate it with the new exhaust system.

jpark

ah i see, that doesnt sound to bad. are there any car part stores that i can walk into and buy aftermarket parts around yonge and steeles? or i'm stuck to ordering online?

kaval

Like I said, Type R OEM exhaust. Larger diameter piping, OEM quality, perfect fitment, nice sound, and within your budget.

jpark

anyone have any opinions about the company DYNOMAX?
found a part on autopartsaway

Dynomax Exhaust System Kit
Part Number: 17401 Manufacturer: Dynomax

cheaper than the one i could get from the states(after S&H +taxes)
are they a reliable company?

MPR

Look on kijiji or TCC classifieds etc. and look for mufflers/full exhaust systems that will fit your car. There are tons of deals out there.

Kaval has a good suggestion. The oem type R exhaust is a good replacement and would require only a few adjustments to make it fit. Nothing a typical exhaust shop couldn't handle.

Dynomax is good from what I know/have heard. Might be on the loud side though. Their mufflers are similar to magna flow in design/sound.

jpark

Okay perfect, I think I may settle with the dynomax if nothing better comes my way, thanks for all the help,
I look forward to speaking with you guys again =]

MPR

Np, happy to help. When you get the car on the road, come on out to our wednesday night meets!

jpark

I was looking at that, and I wish I could, i work a full time job and full-time student =[

maybe do up some weekend meetups? =D

MPR

In the summer we do stuff on the weekends quite a bit. keep your eye on the meets/events section for updates.
